It is also good to live your religion by example.<br /><br />Why do stereotypes exist? Usually because they are mostly true. Remember, many Americans see us (Mormons) as judgmental hypocrites, which often times is true. We seem to rationalize our judgments as just, when we believe it to be a &quot;righteous judgment&quot;.<br /><br />We are in heated political times, We need to stand up when necessary. Likewise, we need to show charity and maturity in dealing with politics so that we don&#39;t perpetuate the hypocritical LDS stereotypes.<br /><br />Obama is not Mormon and as does not adhere to our beliefs. This does not make him evil, or the anti Christ. He has a different set of ideals than what we know, and he is trying to do what he feels is best for our country. I too disagree with most of his policies, but feel that respect and decency is critical at this time. The country is very divided. Somebody needs to step up as the peacemaker. This does not imply that we conform to liberal ideology, it means that we actually practice the principals of our religion.<br /><br />President Obama is going to talk to school age children on Tuesday. Most of you have probably received numerous emails regarding his speech, and the concern of indoctrination etc. that will be spread. Use this opportunity to talk to your children about politics, religion, and respect. If you don&#39;t agree with the Presidents speech, that is fine, talk about it. Pulling your children out of school is avoiding the situation.<br /><br />Stand up for what is right, practice the principals or your religion.Mattnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4828020204493667544.post-61191766344625119632009-06-25T22:27:18.592-07:002009-06-25T22:27:18.592-07:00well Steph, I think we are the minority.

It has been an interesting read, though, and I have enjoyed my participation here.<br /><br />I really think a forum like this has value, though, in the LDS community. I hope I can find another one, maybe just as an observer this time. :)The Wizzlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04836090881894636555noreply@blogger.com
